About

Angel of Shavano Group Campground sits at 9,200 feet elevation in San Isabel National Forest near Poncha Springs, Colorado. Named after the angel-shaped snow formation that appears on nearby Shavano Mountain, this group facility is nestled along the North Fork South Arkansas River in a forest of aspen and pine, with beaver ponds dotting the landscape below. The campground accommodates up to 100 people with parking for 12-14 vehicles. Facilities include a covered pavilion with picnic tables, six standing pedestal grills, five large picnic tables, and a central fire ring with benches. Recreational amenities include a volleyball court, baseball field, and horseshoe pits, though visitors must bring their own equipment. Vault toilets are on-site, while potable water is available via hand pump at the adjacent Angel of Shavano family campground. The Colorado Trail #1776 trailhead is directly across the road, offering hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking opportunities. The river adjacent to the campground provides rainbow and brook trout fishing. Six miles further west on a rough, high-clearance road lies North Fork Reservoir at 11,000 feet, a popular stocked fishing destination.

Directions

From Poncha Springs, CO, take US Highway 50 west 6 miles, then turn right on County Road 240 and travel 3 miles to the campground. The group area is on the left side of the road.
